Peter Andre has reached out to the family of missing person Nicola Bulley.
The Mysterious Girl singer, 49, says he 'can't even imagine' what Nicola's family are currently living through, following the mortgage advisor from Lancashire going missing during a riverside dog walk last month.
Peter claims ' there seems to be more questions than answers' regarding what has happened to Nicola, as police continue to search the water amid their belief the mum-of-two fell into the river during her walk on 27 January.
The dad-of-four suggests 'slip marks or footmarks' would be evident on the ground had Nicola fallen in the river in St Michael's on Wyre in Lancashire, but also muses how 'there would be signs of a struggle' if someone had taken the missing mum-of-two.

Writing in his latest column for new! magazine, Peter says: "Like the rest of the nation I have been saddened by the disappearance of Nicola Bulley, who was still missing at the time of me writing this. It’s such a bizarre story.
"If she had fallen into the river you’d expect to see slip marks or footmarks or something on the ground. But on the flip side, if someone did take her, you’d think there would also be signs of a struggle.

"It’s horrific. It’s one thing someone going missing, but it’s another thing not knowing what happened to them. I can’t even imagine it."
Nicola disappeared along the River Wyre at around 9.20am on January 27 as she walking her pet dog Willow - with Lancashire Police suspecting the mum-of-two may have fallen in the water.
Nicola's partner doesn't believe she fell in the river (Channel 5)Her partner, Paul Ansell, says that while he wants to keep "all options open" about Nicola's disappearance, his "gut instinct" tells him she is not in the river.
Last week, Lancashire Police superintendent Sally Riley reminded the public speculation about the case involving Nicola may be "distressing" to her loved ones.
"We would ask that people in the wider community, particularly on social media and online, do not speculate as to what may have happened to Nicola," she told reporters at a press conference.
Police are continuing to search the water in Lancashire (Julian Hamilton/Daily Mirror)"This is particularly hurtful to her family, to her children, to her partner Paul, to her parents, her sister and her friends because it is not helpful to them, it is distressing and it is distracting for the police inquiry.
"Nor is it helpful if people, particularly if they have come from outside of the area, take it upon themselves to take the law into their own hands by trying to, for example, break into empty property."

She added: "They may mean well, they may want to help. But they can help in thinking back if they were in the area to what information they may have of relevance to the police and holding the family in their thoughts."
